  Note: According to numerous mentions from ANHA, a village with "Alqamiya" name, along with villages of Maranaz and Menagh, under periodic attacks of Turkish-backed forces, also taking the village in Feb 2016 along with the above: http://hawarnews.com/?s=علقمية At the same time, such names as "Alaqsah" or "Mashtal" never mentioned by official / reliable Kurdish and SDF sources regarding this area. For example, ANHA article from April 27, 2017 about liberated areas in Afrin/Shahba regions. There is a mention "Alqamiya" village, but no mention "Alaqsah" or "Mashtal": http://hawarnews.com/مجلس-إدارة-مناطق-الشهباء-ماذا-أنجز؟/ "Alaqsah" name is found in cartographic sources, but there is no unambiguous identification of the whole current territory of the village. Based on the above, this is possibly an outdated or incorrectly designated name: http://www.geonames.org/10152432/al-alaqsah.html Proceeding from the position that indication of the current location of Alqamiya village (west of Kafr Antun) appeared on the basis of unknown data and contradicts numerous indirect data from official local sources, I ask to consider this issue at the level of experienced/responsible users of Wikimapia - I will not independently change the data because of the risk of encountering inadequate response from users who are constantly working with this region, although I am personally completely confident in my conclusions based on the data given above.
